2 days later.
5 :00
You almost done ? I heard Landon call out from outside of the bathroom and opening the door a smug, I peeked my head out in disturbance.
I just got out the shower. I told him, with little droplets from my hair hitting the tile floor.
I meant are you out of the shower. He redirected his question, while he was styling his hair for the first time in awhile in the mirror on our dresser.
Oh yeah I’m done. I grinned before closing the door- only for it to be reopened again by him not too long after- I grabbed the blow dryer that was resting in the cabinet to place it on the counter top.
You could have had one with me. He commented, swooping up behind me to pull me back into his chest. I had to grip my towel from it almost falling to the ground.
You and I both know that’s not a good idea. My body relaxed into his. We can’t keep your parents waiting.
We could just show up ‘fashionable late’ as you ladies put it. He moved my wet hair to my left shoulder and out of his way. The bridge of his nose trailed down my neck and I took in a harsh breath, watching him in the foggy mirror. I felt his warm breath awaken my skin as my body grew hot. Lets be late.
My towel was slowly descending my body but it wasn’t from my doing. My breast kissed the air and I shivered, turning to face him to shield them. The towel was down to my waist and I looked up at him. His eyes were set hard and determined. And I knew if I didn’t stop him right now, it would escalate further.
He took my silence as his answer to continue and my eyes fluttered closed, feeling his lips mold around mine. And like a starved man, he sinfully devoured me. His hands cupped my face, tilting my head back to deepen the kiss. His fingers splayed out across my face before moving them down, his left hand cupping my jaw and the other going into my wet curls. I was burning everywhere.
I leaned in closer so our fronts touched but he wasn’t going only for that. I was hoisted up onto the counter top-with him moving the blow dryer-and I squealed wrapping my arms around his neck, his right leg came in between my knees separating them and I was dragged forward, and I automatically wrapped myself around him like a vine. He broke away from the kiss, only to leave me breathless and with swollen lips as he trailed further down. He lend my body back and my head almost hit the mirror, as he tore my towel open.
I could hear and feel his possessive side as he groaned at the sight. Landon. I choked out. We needed to go. Either he didn’t hear me or he didn’t care as he kissed down my happy trail. His hands gripped either side of my thighs and I tried to readjust myself but he stalled my movement. Five more minutes. His voice was gruff, as he moved back up to my sensitive breast.
We both knew five minutes would turn into thirty if-mostly him-we didn’t stop. Later. My hands went to his, pulling them off me. He groaned but complied to my wishes.
You better be ready for ‘later’. He looked me once over again and I could tell he was fighting his self consciousness but he won as he exited the bathroom to let me continue to get ready.
With a sigh, I jumped down from the counter top resealing my towel around me. It didn’t take me long to blow my hair out for it to at least be damp for me to apply my natural hair products. Once it was to my liking, I left the bathroom to go to my two outfits that were laying sprayed out on the bed.
Landon ! I called out, slipping into my undergarments. He reappeared from the doorway, fixing his cuff links.
He looked up to see with my hands on my hips. We both know I’m the one that should have a attitude, you’re torturing me at this point.
Silly. I rolled my eyes dramatically. Which one ? I pointed to the bed to get his opinion.
Naked. He preferred. But I know you’re not going to grant me that wish, so that one. He pointed to the left- the slit black dress, I honestly loved this dress because Regina and me were playing around- since I was little miss plain Jane- and she cut one of my dresses to her standards and it honestly turned out pretty well.
I picked both of the dresses up, only putting back the other one. Sliding the dress of the hanger, I tried to slip it on without touching my hair. Need help ? He asked, but he was already making the whole bigger for me to slip into.
Thanks. I huffed once sliding into the dress without any more problems. I just need to put some makeup on.
You don’t need it.
Yeah I know. My heart didn’t forget to swell. But I want to look presentable.
Babe, everybody has seen your natural face. It’s not like your favorite celebrity is going to walk in.
But he is. I pouted.
He ? He demanded, his posture stiffening. Who is he ?
You. I patted his chest twice before turning to go back into the bathroom. Or did you forget you were a celebrity to the world ?
Damn right. He addressed it and I couldn’t stop my laughter as he went all caveman.
Stop it, I’m trying to do my makeup. It took some concentration, and if I didn’t stop laughing it wouldn’t get done.
Almost twenty minutes later I was finished and when I went out, he was sitting on the bed with his elbow propped up on his knee. Ready ? I cheered with a big grin plastered on my face. He scoffed under his breath at my reaction to him sitting for what seemed like a decade.
You look beautiful by the way. He complimented me, standing up while grabbing his jacket.
And you look handsome. He shrugged my compliment off like he didn’t need to hear that from me. He always looked good in anything he wore, besides a clown suit.. but I had a feeling he would still pull that off.
For someone who use to call himself handsome you sure are not gloating about it. He stood in front of me, tilting my head back with his index finger.
Why do that when I have the most beautiful girl next to me ? Would that be fair ?
Technically I’m in front of you so… I mocked and he grinned before leaning down, his lips hovering over mine.
I suggest you put on heels. His minted breath fanned my face. Before we don’t go at all.
He kissed my temple and I scowled at his back, watching him leave the room.
This is going to be a long ride.
Calm down your going to love it, and they going to love you- they already do. He said the last part, reaching his hand out and placing it on my stomach.
We arrived at his parents house- mansion-almost five minutes ago and here I was hyperventilating in the car, not wanting to go in.
Okay we can go. I nodded my head in agreement and unbuckling our seatbelts we met at the hood of the car, his hand reaching out for mine.
Don’t stress it’s not good for our baby. He brushed the pad of his thumb across my hand.
Easy for you to say. And as if expecting right on cue the door was swung open.
Richard, they’re here ! Ruby called out, closing the door behind us. Come in, come in. She chanted twice waving her hand for us to follow her.
You look lovely sweetie. Ruby turned her head to me and I thanked her.
You too- I stopped mid sentence.
Turning the corner I expected to see Lilly, Lena, Liam and Richard. But I didn’t expect to see.
My Mom and Dad.
Mom ! I squealed, releasing Landon to rush over to her and she opens her arms for me to engulf myself into them.
Hey sweet pea. Her warmth soothed me as she rubbed her hand across my back. You’re glowing. She pulled away from, taking me in before her eyes narrowed. I fidgeted under her stars but it was soon interrupted.
What ? I don’t get any love ? I heard my Dad’s bittersweet voice from not getting any attention.
I’m on my way. I did a little jog in place in front of him before throwing my arms around his neck. I’m glad both of you are here.
But how did they ?-
You. I turned with my hand still resting on my fathers shoulder. You did this ? I asked Landon.
Surprise. He jazzed his hands out and I went back over to him. Do you like it ?
I love it. I reached up on the tips of my heels. Thank you.
Hope I’m not interrupting anything ? I turned astound to see my best friend.
Hey ! My eyes widen with a bright smile on my face. How did you ?-
I was just in town. She waved it off. And your boyfriend got ahold of my job and now I’m here.
I wanted the pictures. He murmured in my ear. That’s when I realized Regina did show up for the banquet. We heard someone take a sharp irritated breath in, and we all snapped our heads to see who made the noise.
Liam had his eyes set on Regina but she was the only one that didn’t turn in his direction, either that or she chose to ignore him.
You seem different. She commented, carrying on the conversation. Now that I think about it.. This all began almost 11 months ago, and I would have had the life I had now if it wasn’t for her getting me out the apartment.
Okay is that everybody ? Ruby asked, counting everybody. Because I’m tired of running to the door. Everybody laughed. I’m being serious. She didn’t find that humorous at all, and everybody turned deadly silent.
